Dawn Dragon - the whole Prologue

[rune]

I'd love to read your story as it progress', not sure how much I can help, but I'd do my best

Very well, you're both hired. With Dwndrgn already signed up, I should have a good team of readers from Chronicles. I'll let you know when I've got a big enough chunk for you to get stuck into.

cool, thanks

I'm thrilled, thanks

You guys have got me all inspired about this again today. I managed to write some more of the story after I'd done my stint on Imperial Assassin. You never know - you might start getting instalments sooner than I originally intended.

the sooner the better

Sounds good to me. I just re-read the prologue this morning and remembered all the questions it put into my mind. If a story has that many questions arising in the prologue, it should be a well-rounded story for sure!

Hi Mark - just got round to reading the prologue and was very impressed (and hooked!). I know you discussed this concept with me at the Worldcon, but I must have missed this thread in the past.
On a specific note, I noticed your use of the word "dragonspore" to describe the trail left by the dragon. Was this a typo of the word "spoor" or is a deliberate describing word. I ask because now I'm imagining special mushrooms left by the dragons as they move around

Seems you have plenty of fantastic proof-readers already onboard, so I'll just content myself with continuing to plow through the Darkweaver Legacy.

Hi WS,

Yes, you're right, it is a typo of spoor! I suppose I could edit it on here - I've already got the edited version stored in my laptop. But this was the raw draft, and in some ways I like the idea of people seeing the first version, mistakes and all. Just goes to show that nothing comes out perfect first time around!

I hope that you don't find The Darkweaver Legacy too much of a 'plough through' type story! I look forward to hearing what you think of it.

[Mark Robson]

Those of you who are lined up to be proof readers of this story, get ready. I should finish the draft of Imperial Assassin next week, so I'll be full steam ahead with Dragon Pact then. I've pottered a little with it already, so I now have about 5000 words done. I expect to be able to send out the first 10 000 words to you at the beginning of December.

[Winters_Sorrow]

It looks like you're set to be one of these 'prolific' writers then, Mark?

I look forward to seeing how it's progressing - feel free to post a few more sample paragraphs on here, btw....

[Mark Robson]

WS, I hope to be 'prolific' 'pandemic' 'poetic' 'polymorphic' and just about any other positive 'p'! (Especially prosperous!) My biggest aim though is not to be 'posthumous'!

[Winters_Sorrow]

Yeah, not many writers come back from that last one, although quite how you'll be pandemic without sneezing on your books before dispatch is beyond me...

Looking forward to seeing how Dawn Dragon works out

Just kidding. I'm dying to see it too!
